Positive Living: How High Are ‘You’ On Your Priority List?
Comments(3) How many partially read ‘self-improvement’ books do you own, how many journals have you started only to put down and not pick up again?
I have come to realize that on the days I consciously spend time on prayer, some form of meditation and personal reflection, I feel good. On the days that I neglect my inner peace, I don’t feel as great. I don’t have the same grounding, the same focus… I become focused on what is happening ‘out there’ rather than ‘in here‘.
Just as staying fit physically requires determination and discipline, so too does staying spiritually and emotionally fit. Very little is gained if you approach either on a haphazard basis.
“Regular” means habitual, routine, normal, established. Like any lifestyle change, the best way to approach your inner work, is to keep it simple and to keep doing it.
You really don’t need to own every self-help book on the market all at once. Keep it about quality rather than quantity… better one or two dearly loved and deeply relevant volumes with bookmarks, dog ears, highlighter and notes all over than dozens and dozens of books that have barely been glanced at…Read only those that truly resonate with you, put a ribbon around the others and either give them away or put them on a shelf and just let them be. Keep it simple and keep it powerful.
Allow your journal to be a companion for daily self-reflection and exploration. Create a beautiful space and a quiet time for this wonderful journey.
Make your inner journey enjoyable… it is enjoyable… you deserve quality time with yourself… the more connected you feel with your self, the richer your ‘out there’ experience will be…
trust me on this…
So true…. don’t neglect your inner peace! Others will thank you in the long run.
“Keep it simple and keep it powerful.”
ahhhhh my new mantra. Beautiful. Thank you.
Great! Thank you very much! I always wanted to write in my blog something like that. Can I take part of your post to my site? Of course, I will add backlink? Regards
